"Since elements in an excited state give off light as well as absorb energy from light, it would makesense that the live human body, which uses many of these elements and gives off light by way of its aura, could also absorb light." (38)

1992: After returning to Idaho from St. Louis, I experimented with "Light Technologies" to see if I could live more on Light and less on material food as the meditation suggested. I continued this project from mid-April to mid-September,1991, eating less and less material food. Instead, I drew in prana and sun- ight while walking outdoors. Higher self suggested I allow the sunlight to fall on my bare skin, especi- ally on the back and chest areas over the thymus gland.

At first, my energy level was down. I had to cut my usual walk from twenty-five miles a week to betwe- en eighteen and twenty. I gradually reduced food intake at each meal. Soon I was eating only 2 meals per day. By the 1st of June, I was down to one meal a day, but actually gained weight! I cut back to three or four moderate weekly meals, balanced nutritionally, but without most fats, sugars or heavy starches. After three months on this plan, only one moderate 600 calorie meal was eaten every three days. I drank only pure spring water. In five months, although I never snacked between meals (I me- ditated instead), I had reduced by only eight pounds__ six of them lost during the first two weeks of the experiment.

Over the five months, weight decreased when the skies were overcast and either increased or had no change on sunny days. Yes, we can live on energy__ on Light. What is really strange, is that after the first two weeks, I had more energy when I did not eat. Intuitive and visionary abilities increased, and I sensed Spirit's presence within me most of the time. All this occurred even when almost no sunlight was available or it was too cold to let the sun shine directly on my skin. I ended the Live on Light Exp-eriment in late fall to begin some new experiments, but stayed with a semi-vegetarian diet.

In the 1980's, while traveling on art business, I always lost two pounds per week while in Canada, but never understood why, as we seldom ate out, preferring to buy groceries locally and cook most meals in our RV. Then I learned that Canada banned meat and milk from US cattle, which were given stero- ids, hormones or antibiotics to make them grow faster and larger. Do the vibrations of these chemic- als remain in the meat and dairy products to affect us later when we eat them?

Fat cells store toxins, estrogens and food additives. As of 2010, there were over 80,000 non-food substances added to our food supply. Many of our crop-enhancing chemicals, food additives and fo- od processing substances act on the body as estrogen causing weight gain, and for men, a loss of testosterone. In 2008, researches found that the urinary system of women who use birth control pills expels the estrogens into our sewer systems which cannot filter it out, thus polluting our water supply. The body will create fat cells to store the toxins it cannot eliminate fast enough. Each human ingests ... "an average of 5-12 lbs. of environmental toxins yearly." (131) And it is now well-known that stress releases the cortisol hormone in the body, causing weight gain (particularly around the stomach) in a natural attempt to ensure survival of the species.

When animals are led to the slaughter, as anyone who's ever visited or worked at a meat packing pl-ant knows,(both our sons did this temporarily to earn college money) they smell the blood and hear the cries of pain and anguish of their companions being killed. The fear of those yet to be killed, cau- ses their glands to inject "fear" hormones directly into their blood streams where it is carried to all bo-dy tissues. The negative emotional vibrations lodge in the muscle tissue, in what we call "meat". In other words, we virtually eat fear and pain.

Only four major corporations now own all the slaughter houses in the United States and they grind up dead animals to feed the live ones__ some even grinding up those dead from disease or road kill. This material, when dried, is often added to the feed for hogs, sheep, cattle and dairy cows. In En- gland it's believed this practice may lie behind the "mad cow disease" which can also affect humans. In some areas, even fish and chickens are given this decayed material. The incidence of autism in public schools jumped from an average of 4 students per school in 1991, to over 300 per school by 2010 A.D.. When they stopped drinking milk, most returned, overnight, to normal mental states. By 2009, it was reported that 1 in 153 U.S.children now develop autism. Spending time in nature__ es-pecially the greenest areas__ can also reduce autistic symptoms. (Update: In 2013, 1 in 63 now dev-elops autism.)

Mad Cow Disease is now found in all industrialized nations of the world, threatening world food supp- lies. And who hasn't heard ofE. Coli or Salmonella? There are many others we don't hear much a-bout. This author spent nine miserable months trying to harmonize the food micro-organism, campylo-bacter jejuene. It literally eats out one's stomach and can mutate and move to other body organs.

MEDITATION: June, 1989: "When decomposed lifeforms are ingested into the body physical, a 'death vibration' is introduced into the body cells, which begin to deteriorate__ to age. The present system of long-distance transportation of food adds to decomposition possibilities. The fresher the fruits and vegetables, grains or eggs that one eats, the slower the aging process. This is why it is best to eat food grown near where one lives or to grow one's own. Eggs, seeds, nuts, and whole grains, however, have an ability to store the life force within themselves for longer periods of time."

Vegetarianism is more environmentally friendly... "In terms of caloric content, the grain consumed byAmerican livestock alone could feed 800 million people__ and, if exported, would boost the U.S. trade balance by $80 billion a year." The U.S. livestock population__ cattle, fowl, lambs, pigs__ consumes five times as much grain as the U.S. human population. But then, there are 7 billion of them in the U.S., competing with U.S. citizens o ne to one thousand. (132) Wheat prices are now sky-rocketing as farmers replace wheat fields with corn to make ethanol, even though it takes more fossil-fuel energy to produce ethanol than it can replace.

Grain-fed livestock consume 100,000 liters of water for every kilogram of food they produce, compar- ed with 2,000 liters for a comparable amount of high protein soybeans.) Soybeans, however, by 2013 are nearly all a GMO product.) Meat-producing animals also demand tremendous expenditures of fossil-fuel energy__ eight times as much as for a similar amount of plant protein. The average diet burns the equivalent of a gallon of gasoline per day for each pound of meat eaten__ twice what it takes to produce a vegan diet. (132) Simply replacing several meals a week with plant protein instead of meat would greatly reduce fuel use.***The ultimate source of light (EM radiation) is the atoms of the radiating system. Atoms consist of a central particle __ the nucleus__ which has a positive charge and is surrounded by charged particlescalled electrons. Electromagnetic energy can appear either as a wave, or, as a particle of light often called a photon.

When negatively charged, electron particles of a body's atom are "excited" (by meditation, breathing exercises, passion or sex), they move to higher energy states. Highly stimulated cells emit EM radia- tion as photons when the electron returns to its original state. As a human's consciousness drops down from higher dimensional states, they too, emit radiation __ light__ whose frequency equals the decrease in energy involved in the transitions. (134)

The intensity of this body radiation depends upon the rate of oscillation. As the charged particle vib- rates at ever higher frequencies, radiation is emitted first in the form of heat, then, at even higher frequencies, as light waves. Still higher frequencies will emit other energies invisible to our physical eyes. As we express emotionally (perhaps while singing, painting, praying or loving unconditionally), the electronic flow is amplified, and we get a luminescent haze known as a "primary aura" around our bodies. We can see this luminescence with our physical eyes, but the sound must be quite loud, and we must sit in a completely dark room for 90 minutes while our eyes adjust. (134)

This luminescence is produced by the ..."electronic transfer of energy rom one state to another. The cell emits an ultraviolet luminescence from its nucleus at 1900, 2800 and 3300 Angstrom units. The cell also emits red light at 6200 and at 6800 A. units"...."As you draw in your breath, you acc- rete a charge of a force__ prana__ which excites the cellular activity to luminescence." (2)

Light from a strobe flash bulb, pulsed with breath into water, ionizes and structures the water, enabl- ng it to hold a thought-form. Electrons are accumulated in our body's water. "All bodily fluids can hold thoughtforms, nutritional energies and effects from the exterior environment, and then adapt and deliver them throughout the body. The body's ability to attract similar vibrations to itself is ba- sed upon the continual birthing, combining and harmonizing of positive and negative ions in its fluids." (130)

Our body's electronic energies flow best at room temperature and are elevated by our normal body te- mperature. Emotional agreements and focused Intentions are what target thought-forms upon a par-ticular time, place, situation, person or object. Unconditional Love fuels the bonding between us and our thoughts as we Become as One__ and Transformation occurs.
